INTRODUCTION FOR GAGE REPEATABILITY AND REPRODUCIBILITY (GR&R)
- Do you use gages or measurement systems in your processes?
- Have you considered the capability of your gages or measurement systems?
- Are gages or measurement systems you use suitable for your processes?
- Are gages or measurement results operator dependent?
- Are gages or measurement results consistent over time?
GR&R is necessary to ensure that Measurement Systems have the necessary capability to detect changes in your product or process performance. It is essential to have a reference to standards so that product and process specifications are consistent. Consequently, GR&R is required by ISO or IATF Standards (e.g. IATF 16949). This training will be conducted as per AIAG MSA Manual 4th Edition.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
- Conduct measurement system studies including assessment of linearity, stability, repeatability, and reproducibility.
- Differentiate components of variation in a measurement system.
- Understand how to make improvement after GR&R studies.
- Develop the ability to compare gauge variation to tolerances.
- Establish gauge correlation and corrective factors.
